let's make sure people perform their public service, and get a true variety of different classes/ objectivity in there.

Political parties are what is ruining our country. They need to go away. Politic service should not be a lifelong career. You should arrive, do your part to make it better and then have to live in the real world you created. Now there is some incentive to get it right. "

Get your facts straight. The current recession started with drastic easing of banking and lending regulations that were PUSHED and PASSED by the liberals in Congress, including Obama and Pelosi. The banks and lending institutions got greedy and the American consumer ignored economists saying this can't last forever and were WARNING us of this happening! Throw in Bush not doing enough to stop it, Greenspan not doing his job etc etc and here we are! Only somebody with no understanding or willingness to grasp reality still spouts that 'it's all Bush's fault' nonsense! "

Registrars must promise to carry out their duties in a non-partisan and ethical way. Private or political organizations sometimes pay a stipend for registering.

For your information, Bush, in 2001, inherited a balanced budget. He quickly squandered it on an ill-advised, and illegal war on Iraq. He had no exit policy in place. He ignored domestic infrastructure, and his handling of the aftermath of Katrina was a disaster.

He put us into such deep debt that America now owes China. "

As for the teabag zombies, forget about it. Any citizen can register people to vote. It is set up to be a non-partisan activity. This does not preclude partisan people from registering voters. The voters registry does try to set clear rules that partisanism plays no part.

Yet, all of this has little to do with either Acorn or teabaggers, or little green purple people eaters. It is no defense of teabaggers. The letter is naft from start to end. "

" Tea Party voter registration workers do not receive government money for their services, register only the living and register each person ONLY ONCE (what a concept!!) not up to 72 times like ACORN does. Tea Party people do not intimidate voters by placing racist thugs at the entrances to urban polling places like ACORN does.Tea Party people do not use Saul Alinsky methods to foment chaos and revolution against America as ACORN does. The Obamanistas now call those who exercises peaceful First Amendment free speech "mobs" if they question Obama. Freedom is waning in America. Help save it if youdare. "

" We are non-partisan, we honor our country, flag and veterans of all the branches of service. People from all walks of life have been to our rallies and from all over the United States. Why? because they know that our government can not continue to live beyond it's means. We can not continue to give away America to pay it's debts, we can not continue to live with 9.5% or larger unemployed families and massive government spending. The spending forced on us will put our children, and grandchildren into indebtedness for years to come. "

" Thank you Kenton for your sincere insight of the tea party rallies and truth in what the tea parties are all about. Yes again the frontiersman thought the rallies were repetitive if they had been there and reported the whole story instead of a hit and miss or no coverage they would of known and not tried to denounce the cause. Along with voter registration, we research legislation and the constitution provide that information to the public on the local, state and federal level. We give the local candidates an opportunity to present their platform and meet their neighbors. "

" and what about the deceased voters that ACORN had vote too???
it is true, and was not recognized by the government, they knew it happened, and refused to correct it, or prosecute them for it. "
